RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION AGENCY SAFETY PLAN SUBMITTED FOR THE JETS SYSTEM
body
Whereas, the City of Jonesboro, Arkansas operates the Jonesboro Economical Transportation System (JETS) public transit service, and;
Whereas, Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21) granted the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) the authority to establish and enforce a comprehensive framework to oversee the safety of public transportation, and;
Whereas, MAP-21 expanded the regulatory authority of FTA to oversee safety, providing an opportunity to assist transit agencies in moving towards a more holistic, performance-based approach to Safety Management Systems. This authority was continued through the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act.
Now, therefore be it resolved by the City Council for the City of Jonesboro:
Section 1. That the Public Transportation Agency Safety Plan for the JETS system has been reviewed and is hereby approved for submission.
Section 2. That mayor and city clerk are authorized to execute all documents necessary to effectuate this agreement.
PASSED AND APPROVED THIS 21ST DAY OF JULY 2020.
